Repair Tools & Supplies

[pc44730]

Hi all,

 

After a few years of collecting vintage pens, I've decided I'd like to try my hand at some basic repairs, such as sacs and Touchdown and Snorkel o-rings, and the like.

 

I've got my eye on an auction for the "Da Book" but I know I'm going to need some basic tools. What should I buy and where is the best place to get it? Is there any place that offers a tool kit that comes with all the basic stuff?

 

Is there any specific tools that work better than others? Any brands of tools to avoid?

 

Are there any other books that I should read along with Dubiel's?

 

I would appreciate any advice you guys (and gals) can offer.

 

Thanks,

Tom

 

Harbor freight sells spark plug wrenches (section pliers) for about $2.50. I can't tell the difference between these and the $25 models because I never saw a $25 model. My Harbor Freight version works fine.
